Re: Touch Pro 2 dead or stuck pixel POLL

With a seemingly 1/3 chance of getting this problem, i'll just wait.

My TP is going almost a year strong with a perfect screen.
I understand and I agree with you; however, for me it was a good decision to upgrade. I was using a Sprint TP1 on VZW, and I did not have the MEID in VZW's database. I was always worried I was going to get bumped from their network. I loved the TP1, and really had no reason to upgrade. Then VZW released it for $199. I got the phone for $99 after my new every two discount. Just could not pass it up. I am really enjoying the TP2. I will miss some of the TP1 features, but I still miss features on other phones I have had in the past; however, what I have gained in the TP2 overshadows what I have lost in the TP1. I really like the phone. For me it was a good choice, but maybe not for others.

Sorry to slightly highjack the thread. Now to get it back on course! According to Wikipedia it is possible that a stuck pixel can become unstuck. So there is hope; however, it could take months or years. Then again it may never happen.
